Punk Apes With Piercings

The Workshop Monkey Shinez

OMG - PETA will have a kitten. Well, not have kitten; they will have a cow, no, a fit! Put animals in human clothes, especially trendy fashions, and I just get cracked up.

This photo project comes from The Workshop in the Ukraine. Who knows if it is a statement about the evolution (or lack of it) for fashion, or if it's just something for fun.

All I know is if LOL Chimpz: I Can Has Bannannanna? gets hot, I'm going to be really torqued. I wonder if that domain is available? Awesome Monkey Shinez.
